Frequently Asked Questions

Issues during MITIM installation

pyqt fails to install

Some pyqt installation problems can be fixed with upgrading the pip package manager:

pip3 install pip --upgrade

Square brackets not understood by shell

If you are using ZSH you may have problems with the square braquets, in such a case you can do:

pip3 install -e MITIM-fusion\[pyqt\]

ERROR: Wheel error in pip:

Make sure you are getting the fresh packages, by using the --no-cache option:

pip3 install -e MITIM-fusion\[pyqt\] --no-cache

Issues during MITIM tests

TGLF simulations do not run

Make sure you do have the full setup to run TGLF available in your machine upon logging-in. For example:

export GACODE_PLATFORM=OSX_MONTEREY
export GACODE_ROOT=/Users/$USER/gacode
. $GACODE_ROOT/shared/bin/gacode_setup
. ${GACODE_ROOT}/platform/env/env.${GACODE_PLATFORM}

\# Add also modules that are required to run MPI instances in your machine

If you still have problems with MITIM execution of TGLF and you have checked that by manually logging-in to the machine you can run TGLF, then it is possible that you have print or echo statements in your .bashrc or .zshrc files. Please remove them or add the following:

! [ -z "$PS1" ] && echo "Example echo statement that only runs in interactive shells"

AuthenticationException: Authentication failed error when connecting to server through tunnel:

Make sure you that, if you have keys, you have added them to authorized_keys in both server and tunnel machines.
